Rovena gave me a lovely blow out and styled my hair with a curling iron. Unfortunately, the curl fell out in 3 hours.

Outstanding cut and blow dry. Very few stylists - and I have had some of the best - know how to manage my curly hair. Andrea did an amazing job and really understands curls. So happy to have found a great salon. They have every possible treatment and product to make sure you look amazing. The no waiting time was a bonus!

I have gone to Andrea Lafera since I was 8 years old. When she hired Stehapnie as a new stylist I started having her do my hair. I'm now 29 years old and have NEVER been upset with anything they've done to my hair. They are always Professional and kind; they keep up with the latest trends; and are talented stylists…
